It was a wonderful privilege and pleasure for me to be able to represent our chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on Sept. 28, when the Honor Flight returned to Columbus International Airport. There were six other members who joined me in welcoming the veterans back.

I had been there before, but the last time, I was on the baggage level as the men and women came down the escalator to a welcome-home ceremony. A bagpiper played and the names of the men and women were announced. Thank-you signs showed up everywhere, and children shook hands with the veterans.
